Tony De Lorenzo
Official Candidate Biography
I love living in Wellington, but we can do better.
Infrastructure is a key issue, and this will need a professional, not a political approach. This is why I am running as an independent. My goal is to do what is best for Wellington and not for personal, or political agendas.
It is time to have people who are prepared to fight for the entire city.
We need to be a place that says yes to innovation and celebrates what this magnificent city has to offer.
Through helping at community groups and working in my own business I have shown myself to be someone who gets things done and have demonstrated strong financial responsibility.
I am well qualified to make a meaningful contribution to this city, and prepared to give this role the time Wellington deserves.

Owners of villa thrilled to see restrictive heritage listing removed
Post / Stuff NZ — May 10, 2024"Tony and Debra DeLorenzo had found Wellington’s district plan heritage processes “difficult and confusing”, even as they tried to follow the rules by asking council staff for advice. More proactive help from the council would encourage owners to look after their homes and comply with the rules rather than asking for forgiveness, DeLorenzo said. A lot of the information was buried on a website and not easy to follow."
